Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glaucoma is a polygenic neurodegenerative disease and the second most common cause of blindness in Saudi Arabia. To test the hypothesis that genetic variants in the genes involved in the bone morphogenic protein (BMP) signaling pathway may be associated with glaucoma, we investigated the association between 3' untranslated region variants, rs12997 in ACVR1 and rs1043784 in BMP6, and primary...
